i'm sensing i entered a new stage in my life, one that can be sumed up in 3 lines:
"i hate my xwife!"
"i hate my xhusband!"
"we have so much in common!"
which brings me to the next thing that ought to be archaic: marriage.
living together is a choice two people make.
celebrating it is a choice two people make.
sharing custady of a child is a choice two people make.
paying for someon else's tax benefits is a choice that single people didn't make.
adoption agencies wanting a commited couple can look into shared property. immigration can seperate sponsorship from marriage. people should be able to make visitor and decision makers lists in databases hospitals can look at, etc.. this is also useful for cases where you might love your life but don't neccessrily agree that with her religious views about comma or organ donations.
marriage as a legal instrument shouldn't be treated differently from a regular contract.
